IT’S ALL GOING DOWN IN CHINATOWN, WITH KUNG FU STRIKE:
THE WARRIOR’S RISE FOR XBOX LIVE® ARCADE

GRAPEVINE, TX – February 9
th, 2012 – 7sixty and developer
Qooc Soft are pleased to announce that: man with lightning quick
fists lands lightly as lotus blossom on mystical heavens market,
ready to demonstrate his willingness for vengeful combat. Or, if
you’re one of few not versed in ancient Chinese proverbs:
7sixty and Qooc Soft are pleased to announce that
Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior’s Rise is heading to Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system from Microsoft early this
year.

Taking its inspiration from ancient Chinese tales of revenge and
retribution then adding a dash of over-the-top martial arts movies
and old school arcade fun,
Kung Fu Strike is a fast-paced beat-‘em-up where the
player can seamlessly blend powerful punches, high kicks and
perfectly timed blocks to pull off combos that devastate hordes of
enemies. This is all thanks to a fluid combat system that turns
brawling into an art form… OF PAIN.

Alongside the tight combat system and art style inspired by
Chinese calligraphy,
Kung Fu Strike features unlockable techniques that add to
the repertoire of agony for your enemies, support characters that
can be called in to help when your fists fail you and special
equipment that can potentially turn the tide of battle.
What’s more, if you’re too weak and puny to go it
alone, there is local two-player co-op and versus mode to prove you
are the martial arts maestro.

Kung Fu Strike tells the story of General Loh, a warrior
struggling to avenge his father’s death while around him
ancient China spirals out of control due to warring factions that
threaten to split the country apart. Will Loh find out who is
responsible for his father’s death? Can he save his homeland
from destruction? And will he ever discover what the mysterious
‘Zen Room of Emptiness’ is?
